Connecting to Country

​​

We acknowledge the Worimi People as the traditional custodians of the lands of Port Stephens and the Great Lakes region. We value their traditional knowledge and their continuing cultural and spiritual connection to country. Equally, we acknowledge all people who live, work, visit and play on these sacred lands and value their own spiritual connection to country.

We thank all elders who hold and pass on knowledge that connects us to country, enhances the quality of life in our communities and sustains our natural environment for the prosperity of our great nation,

The Commonwealth of Australia.
